I have to admit I never heard of the day until the news started reporting about Trumps rally scheduled on the same day. I don't remember this being taught in schools I went to school in Southern California 1974-1987.
"June 19, 1865, Gen. Gordon Granger arrived with Union soldiers in Galveston, Texas, and announced to enslaved Africans Americans that the Civil War had ended and they were free — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation."
Yes, I've heard of it several years ago.
Maybe that's an indication that you're too limited in where you get your news.
The fact that you believe the emancipation of black slaves is "leftist" is quite interesting.
Can you point to the post or quote specifically where I stated that?
If you are referring to the nonsensical term "juneteenth," you're making an invalid equivalency. I'm not from Texas and I don't accept "words" hijacked by the left. If you want a holiday celebrating emancipation, use something besides Sesame Street sounding gibberish. How about Emancipation Proclamation Day? Or is that too many big words in one phrase, which could enrage the BLM rioters and Mr. Snuffleupagus?
Did you know what Juneteeenth was prior to this year?
Yes because they made such a big deal out of it last year in 2020
I'm fine with it, it's a noble holiday. They should have taken away one of the 44 paid Federal employee holidays though to compensate though
